I haven’t tried to see Mark since then. I heard in a roundabout way that he was sent to the state prison. I’ve just been sort of waiting around for school to start, not much caring whether it does or not. I don’t seem to care about anything any more. It’s like I am worn out with caring about people. I don’t even care about Mark. The guy who was my best friend doesn’t exist any longer, and I don’t want to think about the person who has taken his place.
